"The ghost of electricity howls..."




I was recently introduced to the truly wonderful Ghost Box label by Nolan Micron of the Castles in Space blog and was blown away by the stunning body of work they have put out. Having planned to put together a compilation of my fave tracks I come across this beautiful mix from http://www.bosbos.net/ and recommend it to all - a hearty thank you to BosBos for allowing me to share this with you and I urge you all to take a trip over to his world to find out more.


Here is BosBos:


BosBos - The Mind Bridge (a Ghost Box Tribute.)


Over the past half a decade or so, the
Ghost Box label has quietly been carving a path into the strangest of musical territory. Reminiscent of the sounds found in hoary educational school films, or creepy eighties BBC shows like Chocky, much of the label’s output readily falls into the self-imposed genre known as ‘Hauntology’. Throw in some carefully inspired artwork by prominent graphic designer (and label founder) Julian House, and the authentic sense of nostalgia is complete. The Mind Bridge is a culmination of the twisted minds who frequent the GB roster, such as The Advisory Circle, Belbury Poly, The Focus Group and so on. Step into the other world of Ghost Box - and you may never return quite the same again.
